jquery go to anchor on page load

i have a WordPress site and problems with anchors. i have a page with several anchors which are linked to in the main menu. when i am on the page itself, all anchors work fine, but if I'am on any other page, they don't work, at least not in all browsers and the anchors are ignored.
As being informed it is a chrome bug, ive found this solution:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function(){
var hashNum = 0;
if (window.location.hash != ''){
hashNum = window.location.hash.replace("#oneofmanyanchors", "");
console.log('hashNum: ' + hashNum);
};
hashMenu = jQuery('[data-q_id="#oneofmanyanchors"]').offset().top;
jQuery('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: hashMenu
}, 0);
});
</script>
above code is working and fixes the issues i had in chrome and ff.
however i need this added functionality: At the moment it is addressing only one specific anchor, but i need it to work with any anchors in the page url, not just the one above (anchors are referenced with the data-q_id attribute).
so the code needs to be updated that it grabs any given anchor from the page URL and go to / scroll to that anchor (once) via jquery after first page load.
How do i achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
PS: The problem is caused by theme incompatibility with a certain plugin i need...

I think this should work in every browser - what happens to be the problem?
In order to achieve this in jquery you should scroll to the element/anchor with javascript as soon as the document is loaded.
So like this:
$(function() {
location.hash = "#" + hash;
});
I still think you should find out what went wrong and why the linken from another page doesn't work in some browser before using a workaround for the problem. Your code will just ged more and more messy like that.

$(document).ready shorthand

loading associated script with content on .load jquery

This is the most persistant and limiting problem I have known of for a while now with my experience with JQuery. My problem is simple....
I am using a line of code to load content from html page B to a class defined space in html page A....
$(".tile-area-main").css({width: "720px"}).load("musability-music-therapy-what.html .slides");
in the class ".slides" (it's a slider) has some associated code to make it run properly....
$(document).ready(function() {
//Store a ref to slides
var $slides = $(".slides");
//Bind event to the contianed that gets animated
$(".slide-container")
.on("transitionend webkitTransitionEnd oTransitionEnd msTransitionEnd", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// Remove classes from all the elements within the active container that starts with the class 'add-anim'
$slides.find(".slide-container [class^='add-anim']").removeClass("animated bounceInLeft bounceInUp");
//Add appropriate classes to the matched elements within the active container
var $radio = $slides.find(":radio[name='radio-btn']:checked");
$radio.next(".slide-container").find(".add-anim-up").addClass("animated bounceInUp");
$radio.next(".slide-container").find(".add-anim-left").addClass("animated bounceInLeft");
});
});
The code works , the page works if you launch it directly on its own from windows explorer... It doesn't when the .load function gets involved...
so the question is , How can I have the script loaded not just on that call above (would be a start) but constantly in the index html page I am loading from , (I have other slider functions I will need to use)
In short .load is great to get content but what about the associated code.
p.s my coding is lame if someone could provide an example of how to do this that would be a-m-a-z-i-n-g ! thanks.

this one is sooooo simple i can't beleive it hit me in the face .... simple home truth for Jquery begginners here ...
if you use .load to be smart and grab content from other pages well done....
if any of that content needs a script to run then you need to include $.getScript("url to js file"); after you have done the .load functions
this allows things to simply work !

Trying to load an API and a JS file dynamically

I am trying to load Skyscanner API dynamically but it doesn't seem to work. I tried every possible way I could think of and all it happens the content disappears.
I tried console.log which gives no results; I tried elements from chrome's developers tools and while all the content's css remains the same, still the content disappears (I thought it could be adding display:none on the html/body sort of). I tried all Google's asynch tricks, yet again blank page. I tried all js plugins for async loading with still the same results.
Skyscanner's API documentation is poor and while they offer a callback it doesn't work the way google's API's callback do.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/7TWYC/
Example with loading API in head section: http://jsfiddle.net/s2HkR/
So how can I load the api on button click or async? Without the file being in the HEAD section. If there is a way to prevent the document.write to make the page blank or any other way. I wouldn't mind using plain js, jQuery or PHP.
EDIT:
I've set a bounty to 250 ontop of the 50 I had previously.
Orlando Leite answered a really close idea on how to make this asynch api load although some features doesn't work such as selecting dates and I am not able to set styling.
I am looking for an answer of which I will be able to use all the features so that it works as it would work if it was loading on load.
Here is the updated fiddle by Orlando: http://jsfiddle.net/cxysA/12/

EDIT 2 ON Gijs ANSWER:
Gijs mentioned two links onto overwriting document.write. That sounds an awesome idea but I think it is not possible to accomplish what I am trying.
I used John's Resig way to prevent document.write of which can be found here: http://ejohn.org/blog/xhtml-documentwrite-and-adsense/
When I used this method, I load the API successfuly but the snippets.js file is not loading at all.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9HX7N/

I belive what you want is it:
function loadSkyscanner()
{
function loaded()
{
t.skyscanner.load('snippets', '1', {'nocss' : true});
var snippet = new t.skyscanner.snippets.SearchPanelControl();
snippet.setCurrency('GBP');
snippet.setDeparture('uk');
snippet.draw(document.getElementById('snippet_searchpanel'));
}
var t = document.getElementById('sky_loader').contentWindow;
var head = t.document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.onreadystatechange= function() {
if(this.readyState == 'complete') loaded();
}
script.onload= loaded;
script.src= 'http://api.skyscanner.net/api.ashx?key=PUT_HERE_YOUR_SKYSCANNER_API_KEY';
head.appendChild(script);
}
$("button").click(function(e)
{
loadSkyscanner();
});
It's load skyscanner in iframe#sky_loader, after call loaded function to create the SearchPanelControl. But in the end, snippet draws in the main document. It's really a bizarre workaround, but it works.
The only restriction is, you need a iframe. But you can hide it using display:none.
A working example
EDIT
Sorry guy, I didn't see it. Now we can see how awful is skyscanner API. It puts two divs to make the autocomplete, but not relative to the element you call to draw, but the document.
When a script is loaded in a iframe, document is the iframe document.
There is a solution, but I don't recommend, is really a workaround:
function loadSkyscanner()
{
var t;
this.skyscanner;
var iframe = $("<iframe id=\"sky_loader\" src=\"http://fiddle.jshell.net/orlleite/2TqDu/6/show/\"></iframe>");
function realWorkaround()
{
var tbody = t.document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
while( tbody.children.length != 0 )
{
var temp = tbody.children[0];
tbody.removeChild( temp );
body.appendChild( temp );
}
}
function snippetLoaded()
{
skyscanner = t.skyscanner;
var snippet = new skyscanner.snippets.SearchPanelControl();
snippet.setCurrency('GBP');
snippet.setDeparture('uk');
snippet.draw(document.getElementById('snippet_searchpanel'));
setTimeout( realWorkaround, 2000 );
}
var loaded = function()
{
console.log( "loaded" );
t = document.getElementById('sky_loader').contentWindow;
t.onLoadSnippets( snippetLoaded );
}
$("body").append(iframe);
iframe.load(loaded);
}
$("button").click(function(e)
{
loadSkyscanner();
});
Load a iframe with another html who loads and callback when the snippet is loaded. After loaded create the snippet where you want and after set a timeout because we can't know when the SearchPanelControl is loaded. This realWorkaround move the autocomplete divs to the main document.
You can see a work example here
The iframe loaded is this
EDIT
Fixed the bug you found and updated the link.
the for loop has gone and added a while, works better now.
while( tbody.children.length != 0 )
{
var temp = tbody.children[0];
tbody.removeChild( temp );
body.appendChild( temp );
}

For problematic cases like this, you can just overwrite document.write. Hacky as hell, but it works and you get to decide where all the content goes. See eg. this blogpost by John Resig. This ignores IE, but with a bit of work the trick works in IE as well, see eg. this blogpost.
So, I'd suggest overwriting document.write with your own function, batch up the output where necessary, and put it where you like (eg. in a div at the bottom of your <body>'). That should prevent the script from nuking your page's content.
Edit: OK, so I had/took some time to look into this script. For future reference, use something like http://jsbeautifier.org/ to investigate third-party scripts. Much easier to read that way. Fortunately, there is barely any obfuscation/minification at all, and so you have a supplement for their API documentation (which I was unable to find, by the way -- I only found 'code wizards', which I had no interest in).
Here's an almost-working example: http://jsfiddle.net/a8q2s/1/
Here's the steps I took:
override document.write. This needs to happen before you load the initial script. Your replacement function should append their string of code into the DOM. Don't call the old document.write, that'll just get you errors and won't do what you want anyway. In this case you're lucky because all the content is in a single document.write call (check the source of the initial script). If this weren't the case, you'd have to batch everything up until the HTML they'd given you was valid and/or you were sure there was nothing else coming.
load the initial script on the button click with jQuery's $.getScript or equivalent. Pass a callback function (I used a named function reference for clarity, but you can inline it if you prefer).
Tell Skyscanner to load the module.
Edit #2: Hah, they have an API (skyscanner.loadAndWait) for getting a callback once their script has loaded. Using that works:
http://jsfiddle.net/a8q2s/3/
(note: this still seems to use a timeout loop internally)

In the skyrunner.js file they are using document.write to make the page blank on load call back... So here are some consequences in your scenario..
This is making page blank when you click on button.
So, it removes everything from page even 'jQuery.js' that is why call back is not working.. i.e main function is cannot be invoked as this is written using jQuery.
And you have missed a target 'div' tag with id = map(according to the code). Actually this is the target where map loads.
Another thing i have observed is maps is not actually a div in current context, that is maps api to load.
Here you must go with the Old school approach, That is.. You should include your skyrunner.js file at the top of the head content.
So try downloading that file and include in head tag.

JQuery load() will break facebook like button/comment box. How to workaround?

I am coding a big website but I have cut down my problem into the following tiny html file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3224566/test.html
The problem is that if I (re)load with JQuery a content that features a facebook code, the latter won't appear, even if I reload the script (leading to a duplication of that all.js script, which is another issue).
How can I fix this?
Regards,
Quentin

Use the FB.XFBML.parse() docs after you load the new content
function loadPage() {
$('#test').load('test.html #test', function() {
FB.XFBML.parse( );
}).fadeOut('slow').fadeIn('slow');
}
Note, that loading a fragment with id test in a div with id test will create multiple (two) elements with the same id (nested in each other) in the page, which should never happen as it is invalid.
To avoid this use the more verbose $.get method
$.get('test.html',
function(data) {
var temp = $('<div>').html(data).find('#test');
$('#test').html(temp.html());
}
);

jQuery - Could use a little help with a content loader

I'm not very elite when it comes to JavaScript, especially the syntax. So I'm trying to learn. And in this process I'm trying to implement a content loader that basically removes all content from a div and inserts content from another div from a different document.
I've tried to do this on this site:
www.matkalenderen.no - Check the butt ugly link there. See what happens?
I've taken the example from this site:
http://nettuts.s3.cdn.plus.org/011_jQuerySite/sample/index.html#index
But I'm not sure this example actually works the way I think it does. I mean, if the code just wipes out existing content from a div and inserts content from another div, why does the other webpages in this example include doctype and heading etc etc? Wouldn't you just need the div and it's content? Without all the other stuff "around"? Maybe I don't get how this works though. Thought it worked mosly like include really.
This is my code however:
$(document).ready(function() {
var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1);
var href = $('#dynloader a').each(function(){
var href = $(this).attr('href');
if(hash==href.substr(0,href.length-5)){
var toLoad = hash+'.html #container';
$('#container').load(toLoad)
}
});
$('#dynloader a').click(function(){
var toLoad = $(this).attr('href')+' #container';
$('#container').hide('fast',loadcontainer);
$('#load').remove();
$('#wrapper').append('<span id="load">LOADING...</span>');
$('#load').fadeIn('normal');
window.location.hash = $(this).attr('href').substr(0,$(this).attr('href').length-5);
function loadcontainer() {
$('#container').load(toLoad,'',showNewcontainer())
}
function showNewcontainer() {
$('#container').show('normal',hideLoader());
}
function hideLoader() {
$('#load').fadeOut('normal');
}
return false;
});
});

The jQuery .load() has some extra functionality in it to support this.
You can see it in the docs here (look at `Loading Page Fragments')
In your example here's the important part: hash+'.html #container' the space before the #container means that jQuery will grab that URL, look for the element with id="container" and fetch only that element's content's discarding the rest of the page. This lets .load() work in a more generic way without what you're fetching being specifically designed for only ajax loading.
In your case I think you just need to remove #content from the end unless you're looking for that element. It's not saying "look for content" that's just the ID they used for the element they wanted to look for. It could have been #divToLoad which would be a clearer example IMO.
